The Rivers State House of Assembly is currently in disarray and swimming in troubled waters as the Clerk of the house, Emeka Amadi, disowned the pro-Governor Sim Fubara’s faction of the Assembly.
Amadi maintained that the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly remains Martin Amaewhule.
The Clerk said the three members of the assembly loyal to Fubara—Hon. Victor Oko Jumbo, Hon. Sokari Goodboy Sokari and Hon. Adolphus Orubimie Timothy—were suspended on October 30, 2023, and they cannot lay claim to be officers of the House.
On Thursday, some lawmakers appointed Jumbo as the new Speaker of the Assembly.
